The history of the Guigal amily reflects the glory of the wines of the Côte-Rôtie. Three generations working with land over 24 centuries old.The Guigal Estate was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis, a small ancient village and cradle of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. It shelters a unique vineyard where the vines and the wines have been famous for 2,400 years. Arriving in 1924 at 14 years old, the founder vinfied 67 harvests in Côte-Rôtie and, at the beginning of his career, took part in the development of Vidal-Fleury establishment.
This bounces along nicely with an open-knit mix of peach, pear and honeysuckle notes, backed by a kiss of brioche on the finish. Drink now through 2023.

More than half Viognier, with the balance rounded out by Roussanne, Bourboulenc and just 2% Grenache Blanc, the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Blanc is rich and tropical. It's full-bodied, silky and mouth coating, a charming white to drink over the next couple of years.
